Pompaler Get Good Fortune, Sakazaki’s Graduation Match, Akito Jealous Of ROMANCE DAWN

November 30, 2023

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI PRO WRESTLING 10TH ANNIVERSARY PERFORMANCE ~WE ARE TJPW~”, 01/12/2023
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Juria Nagano, Shino Suzuki & Haru Kazashiro Vs Kaya Toribami, Toga & Runa Okubo
2. Hyper Misao & Mahiro Kiryu Vs Yuki Aino & Raku
3. Next Generation Tournament ’23 – Final: HIMAWARI Vs Wakana Uehara
4. Queen Of Asia Title: Yuki Kamifuku (c) Vs Viva Van
5. Princess Tag Team Titles: Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta (c) Vs Max The Impaler & Pom Harajuku
6. 10th Anniversary Special 10-Woman Tag Match: Miyu Yamashita, Shoko Nakajima, Yuka Sakazaki, Rika Tatsumi & Mizuki Vs Miu Watanabe, Yuki Arai, Suzume, Moka Miyamoto & Arisu Endo

A press conference was held today for the two title matches taking place tomorrow. There was a contract signing for the Princess Tag Team Titles but Max The Impaler did not show up on time. Free WiFi and Pom Harajuku went ahead with signing the contract and giving their opinions about the match. Harajuku said this is her second time challenging for the title and she wanted to be stronger this time. She came up with an idea to buy an expensive pair of high heeled shoes to make her taller and feel bigger. At this point Max arrived at the building and stormed into the room looking to fight Nao Kakuta. Max then smeared ink onto the contract with their thumb (that counts as a signature) and left with Harajuku. Hikari Noa talked about her idea of taming Max the same way she tames her big pet dog at home. Kakuta thinks they shouldn’t leave their guard down against Harajuku so their plan should be to keep Pompaler apart from each other. Free WiFi are feeling the pressure of being the defending champions at the 10th Anniversary show. Meanwhile Pompaler went to the Kanda Myojin Shrine to get their fortune told. The fortune they got was a great one, predicting they will win easily tomorrow.

Yuki Kamifuku and Viva Van were also at the press conference to talk about the Queen Of Asia Title Match. Van spoke about being a Vietnamese-American wrestler coming to Japan to make history. While she is proud to be a part of Tokyo Joshi Pro’s 10th Anniversary show and got along with Kamifuku when they teamed together last weekend, she is also a belt collector and here to win. Kamifuku talked about wrestling in other Asian countries this year. She is steadily becoming fulfilled about what she wants to do as a wrestler. Her goal now is defending the Queen Of Asia Title as a proper champion in order to raise its value while spreading the word of TJPW across the continent. She thinks Van is gorgeous and is looking forward to the match because it will be between two beautiful Asian women. She is worried about damaging her nails though.

The 10-Woman Tag main event is Best 2-Out-3 Falls with a 60 minute time limit.

DDT “D-OH GRAND PRIX 2023 IN SHINJUKU DAY 1”, 02/12/2023
Shinjuku FACE

1. Special 8-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, Toy Kojima, Takeshi Masada & Kazuma Sumi Vs Jun Akiyama, Yuki Iino, Yusuke Okada & Rukiya
2. D-Oh Grand Prix 2023 – A Block: Tetsuya Endo (0) Vs HARASHIMA (0)

6. D-Oh Grand Prix 2023 – B Block: Yukio Naya (2) Vs Rei Saito (2)
7. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Soma Takao & Shota (c) Vs Toru Sugiura & Akito

The KO-D Tag Team Titles have never been held by Akito and he wants to change that fact. Toru Sugiura is one of his longest known friends going back to their days in Nagoya where they got their starts at separate wrestling groups in the area. Seeing ROMANCE DAWN win the tag titles made Akito jealous because he is currently not in a unit or teaming with a close friend. That’s why he chose Sugiura to be his partner for the title match. If they become champions then Akito wants to do a tag title defence in a similar style to a DDT Extreme Title defence.

All four people used to be together in an entertainment group called DPG (Dramatic Perfect Group). The group were also involved with the TJPW launch show ten years ago so it is a fitting way to send Sakazaki off. However she will have a second match in the main event against the other two longest serving members of TJPW. It’s a 3 Way Match against Miyu Yamashita and Shoko Nakajima!

The last time Shunma Katsumata wrestled was in May when he defended the Extreme Title against Hideki Okatani. That was the match where he injured his ankle and was out of action for eight months. When Katsumata returns on 3rd January Okatani will be there waiting for him so they can continue where they left off. It’s a tag match though so Katsumata will be with The 37KAMIINA teammate Toy Kojima while Okatani is there as part of Eruption with Yukio Sakaguchi.

Rei Saito is guaranteed to be on the show whether he makes it to the D-Oh Grand Prix final or not.

DDT “DRAMATIC DREAM TOUR 2023 IN MIYAGI” Results

November 23, 2023

DDT “DRAMATIC DREAM TOUR 2023 IN MIYAGI”, 23/11/2023
Miyagi Yume Messe West Building Hall
226 Fans

1. KANON defeated Kazuma Sumi with the Sleepy Hollow (6:00).
2. Daisuke Sasaki & Demus defeated Yuni & Yuya Koroku when Demus pinned Yuni with La Valagueza (8:25).
3. Miyagi Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: HARASHIMA, Danshoku Dieno & Makoto Oishi defeated Kazuki Hirata & Aizawa No.1 & Ilusion when HARASHIMA pinned Ilusion with the Somato (11:43).
4. Jun Akiyama & Yusuke Okada defeated Kazusada Higuchi & Rukiya when Okada pinned Rukiya with the Sudden Death (10:37).
5. Special Single Match: Tetsuya Endo defeated MJ Paul with the Burning Star Press (13:31).
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, MAO & Toy Kojima defeated Chris Brookes, Akito & Yukio Naya when MAO pinned Akito with the Cannonball 450 (25:42).

A DDT show happening in Miyagi always means something to MAO because it is his home region. Today’s event especially so because it was the first time DDT was able to visit Miyagi Yume Messe since 2019. After winning in the main event MAO said he wants next year’s Miyagi show to be held in his hometown of Osaki City. He has a good feeling it will happen next year and he even has a particular date in mind. He won’t say what it is though until he makes sure it will happen. Yuki Ueno was appreciative that the active members of The 37KAMIINA were able to team together because it reminds him how important his friends are.

Tetsuya Endo bounced back from his “ULTIMATE PARTY 2023” defeat to Daisuke Sasaki by beating MJ Paul in a match filled with DAMNATION T.A interference. Endo fought off distractions from Sasaki and KANON and matched up against Paul’s power to win with the Torture Rack Bomb and Burning Star Press. He thanked the fans for their support and said he loves Sendai just as much as MAO does even if he only sold two chekis at the merch stand before his match.

6. Sanshiro Takagi, HARASHIMA, Kazusada Higuchi & Akito defeated Soma Takao, Shota, Tetsuya Endo & Yukio Naya when Akito pinned Takao with the Tariki Hongan Style Figure 4 Leg Lock (10:13).
7. 53rd KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions 1-DAY Tournament – Final: Jun Akiyama, Danshoku Dieno & Makoto Oishi defeated Yuki Ueno, MAO & Toy Kojima when Dieno pinned Kojima with the Danshoku Driver (16:56).
*D.O.A become the 53rd KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions!

Looks like D.O.A are sticking around for a while. The trio of Jun Akiyama, Danshoku Dieno & Makoto Oishi all agreed to enter today’s tournament where the prize was the newly vacant KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles. The one condition was that if D.O.A failed to win, the team would immediately disband. Well they ended up winning the whole thing. D.O.A beat SCHADENFREUDE International in Round 1 after Dieno put wasabi in his mouth and put Antonio Honda in the Lip Lock. Then in the final D.O.A defeated The 37KAMIINA using the same tactic to become the new champions. Akiyama actually threw away the wasabi when Dieno took it out again but Shunma Katsumata retrieved it. Oishi told Akiyama & Dieno afterwards that the team is a success. Dieno is now convinced. He and Akiyama didn’t want to team together but the results speak for themselves. It also reassures him that DDT’s older wrestlers can still compete with the younger generation that’s been taking over the top end of DDT’s shows.

Backstage D.O.A all joked that the MVP of their team today was Shunma Katsumata and he was the reason why they became the new champions. Maybe they can ask him to join their unit? Dieno & Oishi then left Akiyama by himself so he can make an important decision. He announced he will leave BURNING at the end of this year. The time feels right for Tetsuya Endo to lead the group by himself while Akiyama goes in search of a new path to walk down. He makes it clear it is not because of D.O.A. Endo showed up next to Akiyama and explained to reporters that ever since BURNING’s formation they do not have many accomplishments to show for it. Endo takes blame for being a naïve leader and after consulting with Akiyama, they agreed with this idea. Endo said it will now be up to himself, Yusuke Okada & Yuya Koroku to make BURNING bigger without Akiyama’s help. Top of the list for them is Endo winning the D-Oh Grand Prix while Okada & Koroku win the All Asia Tag Team Titles. But first Endo has to pass this news on to Kenta Kobashi. He promised to send him a LINE message about it.

Akito came up with a clever way to beat ROMANCE DAWN in the 8-Man Tag Match. He manipulated Shota into giving Soma Takao a Figure 4 Leg Lock to tie them up. He then pinned down Shota’s shoulders for the three count. After the match Akito said he is happy to see the younger generation succeed but it’s a different story when wrestlers from his same generation are now surpassing him. He challenged ROMANCE DAWN for the KO-D Tag Team Titles and has knows just the guy to team with him. His partner is Toru Sugiura from FREEDOMS! Sugiura is currently the King Of FREEDOM World Champion and also part of the same Young Communication generation that Akito, Takao and Shota are from. The title match will take place on 2nd December.

DDT trivia was the name of the game when Kazuki Hirata had to defend both of his championships against MIKAMI. The rules of the DDT Trivia King Death Match was after every fall the winner needed to correctly answer a question about DDT to end the match. The match itself was just for the DDT Extreme Title but when MIKAMI pinned Hirata in the first fall, he became the new Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion even though he answered his question wrong and the match had to continue. The question was what is Yuki Ishida’s favorite food? MIKAMI said chanko but that was wrong. Hirata said it is probably donuts and was correct. MIKAMI won the second fall but didn’t know what was the last thing Hideki Okatani said to Hirata during his introductory exam. Hirata knew it was “I’m not going to dance today.” MIKAMI then accused Hirata of coming up with the questions. He pinned him again just to get asked what does Toy Kojima worry about during his matches? MIKAMI said he worries about losing but that is wrong. Hirata said Kojima is scared of soiling himself, which is correct. Hirata finally scored a pinfall on MIKAMI, winning back the Iron Man Title in the process. He was given a quote about something and was asked who said it? Hirata said it was from himself… That’s correct! The match ended and it counts as another successful defence for Hirata on his quest to make the most Extreme Title defences. He denies coming up with the questions himself and they were all sourced from a committee of 1,000 people. MIKAMI hopes to get another chance some day but next time he wants the stipulation to be hardcore like a Ladder Match.

Former CMLL wrestler Demus left an impression on his first day with DDT. Before the first match took place he and MAO participated in a contract signing for their DDT Universal Title match on 19th November. Demus had Daisuke Sasaki as his interpreter and called MAO a country bumpkin from Miyagi. He then bragged about having a wife from Fukushima and being more universal than MAO could ever be. MAO said he chose Demus as his first challenger because he wants to experience Mexican wrestling as his first step into a world he’s never been in before. Then in the opener Demus made quick work of Kazuma Sumi before interfering in The 37KAMIINA Vs DAMNATION T.A match to attack MAO at ringside. Even though DAMNATION T.A lost, Sasaki warned MAO that Demus is going to destroy him!

Trivia King Death Match, MAO Ready For Demus, Max And Pom Chase The Champs

November 14, 2023

6. DDT Extreme Title & Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Did you Know!? Past → Present DDT Trivia King Death Match: Kazuki Hirata (c/c) Vs MIKAMI
7. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles 1-DAY Tournament – Final: X, X & X Vs X, X & X

The DDT Extreme Title match is being built entirely around the history of DDT. The title will be defended in a Trivia King Death Match! Kazuki Hirata and MIKAMI will wrestle as normal but when a fall is won, the winner must answer a trivia question about DDT. If they get it correct then they win the match. If they get it wrong then the loser gets to answer and if the loser gets it right, the match will continue. If the loser also answers incorrectly then a new question will be asked to the winner. This continues until one of them gives a right answer. The questions will be determined by a panel of 100 people selected from the DDT Legend Executive Committee which consists of 1000 members. The Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title is also on the line but as always there is a risk Hirata could lose it to someone else before the match takes place.

MIKAMI is confident he will win and show off the history of DDT while doing it. He still vividly remembers the day when the championship was created and Sanshiro Takagi rewarded it to him. MIKAMI said when he is champion he wants to have matches as intense as those from his first reign and he will nominate Takagi as a challenger. Hirata believes if he can successfully defend the title against MIKAMI then he is good enough to break the record for most Extreme Title defences. Hisaya Imabayashi gave MIKAMI an example question to test him out. Who was the first KO-D Openweight Champion? MIKAMI struggled to come up with an answer while Hirata calmly said he knew. MIKAMI eventually figured it out and correctly said it was Masao Orihara.

With the retirement of Saki Akai having taken place, the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles are now vacated. The tournament to crown the next champions will be between The 37KAMIINA, DAMNATION T.A, the one-off trio called D.O.A and the newly established SCHADENFREUDE International.

DDT “HOUSEBOAT PRO WRESTLING” Results

November 13, 2023

DDT “HOUSEBOAT PRO WRESTLING”, 13/11/2023
Tokyo Ryogoku Pier
24 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Time Difference Embarkation Falls Count Anywhere 3 Way Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & Toy Kojima defeated Tetsuya Endo & Kazuma Sumi and Sanshiro Takagi & Makoto Oishi when Ueno pinned Sumi after the My MADMAX onto the Chair with Kojima (86:27).

One day after DDT held “ULTIMATE PARTY 2023” they celebrated with an afterparty on the Ryogoku Pier. Part of the celebration was the first ever Houseboat Pro Wrestling match!

A houseboat on the Sumida River would collect wrestlers from pier to pier and they would fight each other on the boat. Also during breaks in the action the wrestlers would find other ways to entertain the guests. Yuki Ueno, Toy Kojima, Sanshiro Takagi and Makoto Oishi were the first wrestlers to step on board.

The match began with Ueno and Takagi against each other. When Ueno got the upper hand, Takagi offered to give Oishi 25,000 Yen to help him fight Ueno in a 2 Vs 1 Handicap Match. Oishi accepted but Kojima then came to Ueno’s aid to even the numbers.

Takagi and Ueno stabbed each other in the head with toothpicks until the match moved outside to the houseboat deck. The two sides did double team moves on each other before they decided to move back inside. They saw Shunma Katsumata was singing karaoke for the fans and Kojima decided to join in.

The houseboat stopped at Etchujima where Tetsuya Endo and Kazuma Sumi climbed on board. Fans soon noticed that Takagi & Oishi had vanished. It turned out that Endo & Sumi attacked them outside, tied them up in tape and left them stranded on the pier when the houseboat sailed off!

This meant the match was now Ueno & Kojima against Endo & Sumi. They fought up and down the boat until it moved outside to the deck again. From there Ueno & Kojima gave Sumi the My MADMAX onto a pile of chairs, winning the match after 1 hour and 26 minutes.

After the match Ueno talked about DDT hosting matches on a bullet train and on a houseboat. He thinks the next idea should be an Airplane Pro Wrestling match up in the sky! He admits that would be difficult because everybody has to wear seatbelts on a flying plane but it might come true.

Katsumata said there are many other houseboats around Japan so taking Houseboat Pro Wrestling on tour through all the different rivers could work. Ueno said The 37KAMIINA has become the centre of DDT. Their next goal is to win the vacated KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles.

MAO was originally meant to be in the match but he was too banged up from yesterday to take part. A medical examination showed no injuries though so he will be back wrestling later this week.

DDT “UTAN FESTA 2023” Results

October 30, 2023

DDT “UTAN FESTA 2023”, 29/10/2023
Tokyo JR Omori Station East Exit Plaza
1,029 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul defeated Yusuke Okada, Yuya Koroku & Yuni when Sasaki pinned Yuni with a Spear (11:01).
2. Danshoku Dieno defeated Rukiya with the Danshoku Driver (6:55).
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama & Chikara defeated Sanshiro Takagi, Akito & Kazuki Hirata when Endo pinned Akito with the Burning Star Press (11:48).
4. World Omori Title: Soma Takao (c) defeated Antonio Honda with the Official Endless Waltz (11:20).
*V1 for Soma Takao.
5. Omori Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yukio Sakaguchi, Saki Akai & Hideki Okatani defeated Aja Kong, Takeshi Masada & Kazuma Sumi when Akai pinned Sumi with the Quetzalcoatl (13:13).
6. Yuki Ueno, MAO & Toy Kojima defeated HARASHIMA, Makoto Oishi & Yukio Naya when Ueno pinned Oishi with the BME (17:20).

The 37KAMIINA were close to losing in the main event. HARASHIMA & Yukio Naya came up with an effective strategy to throw Makoto Oishi at their opponents. It worked until Toy Kojima Dropkicked Naya while he held Oishi over his head. Naya recovered and put MAO in a deep Crab Hold causing Shunma Katsumata to appear at ringside and cheer his friends on for a comeback. The comeback did happen and Yuki Ueno gave Oishi two Moonsaults to win the match. The 37KAMIINA thanked the fans for coming back to the “UTAN FESTA” shows again after the pandemic took it away for a few years.

The graduation road sent Saki Akai over to meet Aja Kong one more time. Akai was ready for Kong and even took away the steel can so she could attack Kong with it instead of the other way round! That only annoyed Kong but she ended up taking that frustration out on Kazuma Sumi because he wouldn’t stop demanding her to tag him in. Akai took advantage and pinned Sumi with the Quetzalcoatl. She then thanked Kong after the match for always being a wall she wanted to climb over. Kong spoke about first knowing Akai 10 years ago as the model who made the controversial choice to become a pro wrestler. She has developed into a fine wrestler with kicks that hurt so much! Kong said it is her greatest joy to be here and see Akai fight like this. Unfortunately Kong will be wrestling in America around the same time Akai has her retirement match so she will not be there to see it in person. All she can do now is encourage the fans to go see Akai’s final match at Sumo Hall on 12th November.

The annual World Omori Title match ended with Soma Takao successfully defending the championship for the first time. His defence was also a preview of the next KO-D Tag Team Titles match because Antonio Honda was his challenger. Shota was in the corner to support his ROMANCE DAWN tag partner while Masahiro Takanashi was not at the show. Honda came up with a clever way to even the numbers by grabbing people’s food and shoes at ringside and attacking Takao with them. However Takao kept avoiding the Diving Fist Drop and pinned Honda with the Official Endless Waltz for the victory. Takao told the fans he used to go to the “UTAN FESTA” shows as a teenager so it makes him happy he now gets to wrestle on them.

7. Road To Ultimate Party 2023! Special Tag Match: Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA defeated Yuki Ueno & MAO when Brookes pinned Ueno with the Praying Mantis Bomb (22:11).

The upcoming Sumo Hall main event was previewed at today’s Korakuen Hall show. Chris Brookes and Yuki Ueno showed respect to each other but neither wants to lose. The competitive atmosphere carried over to the other wrestlers in the match. Brookes was teaming with HARASHIMA while Ueno teamed with MAO. This pairing of The 37KAMIINA hit their unique version of the MADMAX to Brookes but HARASHIMA broke up the pin by hitting Ueno with the Somato. Brookes then dodged the BME and gave Ueno a Piledriver only for MAO to break the pin. HARASHIMA got rid of MAO allowing Brookes to finish off his upcoming challenger. He hit a Buzzsaw Kick, the Diving Double Knee Drop and then the Praying Mantis Bomb to score the win over Ueno.

After the match Brookes said he and Ueno are both friends and rivals wanting to show their ideal vision of DDT. They can have a great match in the main event of “ULTIMATE PARTY 2023” on 12th November but Brookes thinks he is going to win at Sumo Hall. Backstage both HARASHIMA and MAO spoke about how happy they were to see Brookes and Ueno wrestle each other before Sumo Hall because recently one would get sick and the other would get injured. Ueno knows how strong Brookes is but that will not stop him on his mission to become the best in DDT!

When Takeshi Masada’s lack of a social life was discovered by DDT it was all up to Kazuki Hirata to find a way to fix it. Their double title match would use a stipulation that can teach Masada how to open up and have fun with people. The match started off normally until a few minutes in when music began to play and a group of masked people entered the ring. They assisted Hirata in teaching Masada by playing games of Jenga and basketball as well as putting together a drinking party in the ring. Masada enjoyed the experience and was having fun until Hirata and the masked men attacked him! He fought them off and was then chased around the venue. Masada soon realised he was being counted out and he rushed back to the ring. But just when he made it to the apron at the 19 count Hirata knocked him to the floor. Masada was counted out and Hirata recorded a successful DDT Extreme Title defence.

However the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title held by Masada cannot be won by a countout so the result counted as a successful title defence for Masada as well. The two shook hands until Hirata rolled Masada into the Miracle One Shot Cradle. The masked men piled on top helping Hirata get the three count and win the Iron Man Title after all! The masked men dragged Masada away from ringside while Hirata explained he needed to become a double champion to make his Sumo Hall match with Hiromu Takahashi next month an even bigger deal. But while he was saying this, Takahashi suddenly ran into the ring and pinned him with a School Boy to become the new Iron Man Champion! He celebrated the championship now belonging to a New Japan wrestler and admitted he doesn’t even want the belt. He just took a shot at winning it because the opportunity was there. The actual reason he showed up today was to ask Hirata what the rules for their match on 12th November is going to be? Hirata said he cannot decide now but promised it will be something fun for them and the fans. Hirata then tried to win back the Iron Man Title and chased Takahashi around ringside.

Saki Akai’s road to retirement hit a rough patch this weekend. Yesterday Eruption lost the AJPW TV 6-Man Tag Team Titles in All Japan with Akai dropping the fall. Today in DDT Akai had a special tag match where she faced against the other two members of Eruption. Backing her up though was Chihiro Hashimoto from Sendai Girls. The power of Hashimoto was on show when she used German Suplexes to throw around Yukio Sakaguchi & Hideki Okatani. Akai had Sakaguchi on the ropes by hitting the Rookie Award and she tried to finish him off with the Quetzalcoatl. But Sakaguchi blocked the move and came off better in a High Kick exchange. Akai kicked out from a Right High Kick at 2 but was put away with the God’s Right Knee.

After the match Sakaguchi and Hashimoto exchanged words to let everyone know they want to fight each other again. Hashimoto also praised Akai for being strong, cool and beautiful. She asked her to continue being like this until she reties. Sakaguchi asked Akai not to cry because it would make everyone else sad too, even himself and Okatani. Today is the last time Akai wrestled in Korakuen for DDT so she should get to talk about it. Akai said Okatani’s growth has been her purpose in life lately. She thanked him for joining Eruption. She also thanked Sakaguchi for teaching her so much from her fighting spirit to her wrestling techniques. She hopes he will continue being everyone’s big brother. Until Akai’s wrestling career ends she will continue to represent Eruption.

The teams in Match #4 were slightly switched around by Danshoku Dieno’s request. Makoto Oishi and Yusuke Okada swapped sides based on Okada’s recent interactions with Dieno and his weakened state. The result of this was Dieno, Oishi & Jun Akiyama working unexpectedly well together as a trio. They won the match against Okada, Kazusada Higuchi & Akito. Oishi thought things worked so well that they should team up more often. Dieno disagreed so Oishi tried to convince him that a person like Akiyama who has had many ups and downs in his career can help Dieno get out of his current slump. Oishi already decided on a team name. Take the D from Danshoku, the O from Oishi and the A from Akiyama and you get D.O.A which also stands for Dead Or Alive! Oishi wants D.O.A to fight for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles once Eruption vacates them. Akiyama agreed to take part but only if the D.O.A splits up if they fail. Dieno doesn’t like the idea but he’s now stuck with it.

The Yukio Naya Vs Yuya Koroku match was interrupted by the sudden appearance of The Saito Brothers! The Voodoo Murders team from All Japan entered the ring and attacked Naya, causing the match to get thrown out. Koroku and Toy Kojima were attacked too until HARASHIMA ran down for the save. Rei Saito grabbed the microphone and complained about Naya disrespecting him and his brother lately. They are going to spend the next few months destroying him! They will be fighting Naya in a tag match at Sumo Hall next month and Rei Saito is taking part in the D-Ou Grand Prix this year, entering in the same block as Naya! Jun Saito warned everyone the D in D-Ou is the same D you will find in “DOOM!”

Daisuke Sasaki is taking his upcoming singles match with Tetsuya Endo very personally. DAMNATION T.A beat Endo today with KANON pinning Rukiya but Sasaki was focused on Endo’s fallen body outside the ring when the match ended. Sasaki told Endo what’s going on now has nothing to do with DAMNATION or BURNING. It is all about their match at Sumo Hall on 12th November. He will not let anybody get in the way of it. Endo agreed with the comments backstage, saying the match will be a pure fight between two people. He doesn’t want anything else to get mixed up in it.

One of DDT’s legends returned to the promotion today to wrestle one of the company’s prospects. MIKAMI defeated Kazuma Sumi by hitting the Mickey Boomerang (the 619 before Rey Mysterio even used it as an offensive maneuver, that’s how long MIKAMI has been around) and following it up with the Swanton Bomb. MIKAMI said Sumi has a long way to go but he’s got something good to work with. They can team up next time so Sumi can learn some MIKAMI-ism skills to his repertoire. MIKAMI then threw his name out as the next challenger for the DDT Extreme Title. He was the very first Extreme Champion when the title was created in 2006. He later approached Hirata backstage to challenge him in person. Their title match will take place on 16th November.

The dark match gave Masahiro Takanashi & Antonio Honda some prep time for their KO-D Tag Team Titles challenge at Sumo Hall. One-half of the champions Soma Takao was on the opposing team with Yuni. The other half Shota was there at ringside and even got lured in by Honda’s Gongitsune joke. Yuni took over with an RKO to Honda but he missed a Moonsault. Honda then rolled him up with a Rolling Leg Clutch for the victory.

There was a lot of newsworthy stuff on the show away from the matches in-ring. Chris Jericho sent in a video message for Konosuke Takeshita. He showered praise towards Takeshita for already creating a great pro wrestling legacy in DDT and AEW. Jericho admits he should be angry over Takeshita’s constant attacks on him but instead he wants to give him a gift. He promised he will give Takeshita the best match of his career at Sumo Hall. On that night Takeshita will learn that Jericho is the greatest wrestler of all time and he is just an idiot!

Hisaya Imabayashi revealed a new addition to “ULTIMATE PARTY 2023”. It’s the DDT return of the man formerly known as Jiro “Ikemen” Kuroshio! After announcing his return to the Japanese wrestling scene this month, this person is now being called Kuroshio TOKYO Japan! He is still the same old Kuroshio though, taking his sweet time entering the ring while “HELLO” played in the background. When he finally did speak he said Takeshita recommended he challenge Masada to a match. Masada was surprised to hear this and accepted. He was already booked for a Tag Gauntlet on the show but Imabayashi agreed to change the card so this match can go ahead.

The D-Ou Grand Prix 2023 blocks were announced at the beginning of the show. Block A contains Yuki Ueno, Tetsuya Endo, Kazusada Higuchi, Daisuke Sasaki, HARASHIMA and Yuki Iino. Block B has Chris Brookes, MAO, Yukio Naya, KANON, Kazuki Hirata and Rei Saito. The tournament will be Iino’s return to DDT after Pheromones broke up. He is currently away getting rehabilitated to remove whatever Pheromones was left inside him.

DDT “GOD BLESS DDT 2023 TOUR IN SAPPORO – DAY 1” Results

October 14, 2023

DDT “GOD BLESS DDT 2023 TOUR IN SAPPORO – DAY 1”, 14/10/2023
Hokkaido Sapporo ii-one Stadium
233 Fans

1. Akito defeated Danshoku Dieno with a Lip Lock Cutback (5:52).
2. Daisuke Sasaki & KANON defeated Tomoya & Yusuke Okada when Sasaki submitted Okada with the Crossface Lock (9:00).
3. Yukio Sakaguchi, Saki Akai & Hideki Okatani defeated Sanshiro Takagi, Makoto Oishi & Kazuma Sumi when Sakaguchi pinned Oishi with a Cradle (10:06).
4. Special Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi & Takeshi Masada defeated Kouki Iwasaki & Rukiya when Higuchi pinned Rukiya with the Doctor Bomb (11:44).
5. Sapporo Specialty Special Tag Match: Tetsuya Endo & Noriyuki Yoshida defeated Jun Akiyama & Yuya Koroku when Endo pinned Koroku with the Burning Star Press (12:21).
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Kazuki Hirata defeated MAO, Yukio Naya & Toy Kojima when Brookes pinned Kojima with the Praying Mantis Bomb (21:48).

Today was supposed to be the first preliminary tag match between Chris Brookes and Yuki Ueno but Ueno had a flu and missed the show. This mean Brookes did not get the full hot sauna experience from The 37KAMIINA but he tried to make up for it by going to a public bath earlier in the day. He said he felt good after having his first match in almost three weeks. In fact he’s more worried about Kazuki Hirata’s chances over defending the DDT Extreme Title against Takeshi Masada soon. MAO appreciated Yukio Naya coming in to take Ueno’s place on short notice. He also admits he is torn over who to support between Brookes and Ueno.

A lot of new people have shown up in DDT since Kouki Iwasaki was last here. But not matter what changes here, as long as Kazusada Higuchi is in DDT Iwasaki will always come back to fight him again. Higuchi was happy to see him too. He was in a match with Kota Umeda not that long ago and will be reunited with Ryota Nakatsu again soon. Higuchi will always appreciate his DNA classmates but wants everyone to remember he was always DNA’s number one. Masada was excited over his team winning because he gets to keep the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. However Higuchi warned him they will be enemies tomorrow.

Sanshiro Takagi got his team to build a “Sapporo Castle” out of chairs at ringside. Kazuma Sumi was tasked with guarding the castle but Eruption threw him into it causing the chairs to collapse. Eruption were able to win the match but Yukio Sakaguchi came out of it favouring his knees because Makoto Oishi targeted them. He tried not to make a big deal out of it, saying he will kill Takagi tomorrow even on just one leg! Takagi said is Sakaguchi does kill him he will report him to the police right away. The KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles match will go ahead tomorrow and Takagi promises his team will win it fair and square.

Danshoku Dieno used different tactics against Akito in their first singles match against each other since the end of Pheromones. Dieno’s entrance music was replaced with “Ride Of The Valkyries” and he entered the ring behind Akito’s back to ambush him Yoshiaki Fujiwara style. Dieno also brought out Yoshihiko to attack Akito with. However when he gave Akito the Lip Lock, Akito overpowered Dieno and pinned him on his back for the victory. Akito explained afterwards that because of all the Pheromones that was spread over DDT, everybody has gradually developed an immunity to Danshoku style! He said even Yuki Iino has a more powerful Danshoku style than Dieno has now. He warned Dieno that his opponent tomorrow Yusuke Okada will show the same immunity against him. Dieno stuck up his middle finger to Akito and walked out the ring.

DDT “GOD BLESS DDT 2023 TOUR IN SANJO” Results

October 7, 2023

DDT “GOD BLESS DDT 2023 TOUR IN SANJO”, 07/10/2023
Niigata Sanjo City Welfare And Welfare Center
256 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Yusuke Okada defeated Rukiya with a Crab Hold (7:41).
2. Daisuke Sasaki & KANON defeated Takeshi Masada & Kazuma Sumi when KANON pinned Sumi with the Sleepy Hollow (8:27).
3. 3 Way Match: Super Sadadango Machine defeated Kazuki Hirata and Danshoku Dieno when Sasadango pinned Dieno after the Double Kawazu-otoshi with Ryo Takizawa, the Mayor Of Sanjo (15:30).
4. Special Single Match: Yukio Naya defeated MJ Paul with The World’s Largest Back Drop (7:55).
5. Eruption Vs BURNING!: Yukio Sakaguchi & Hideki Okatani defeated Tetsuya Endo & Yuyu Koroku when Okatani pinned Koroku with the Double Arm Suplex (10:05).
6. All Asia Tag Team Titles: Jun Akiyama & Kotaro Suzuki (c) defeated Takao Omori & Yoshitatsu when Akiyama pinned Omori with the Wrist-Clutch Exploder Suplex (14:02).
*V1 for Jun Akiyama & Kotaro Suzuki.
7. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, MAO & Toy Kojima defeated HARASHIMA, Kazusada Higuchi & Akito when Ueno pinned Akito with the WR (19:37).

When The 37KAMIINA won in the main event, Yuki Ueno called for the fans to keep supporting them. Both he and MAO will be in title matches at Sumo Hall on 12th November while Toy Kojima is still doing his best. Ueno said the next time the group is in Niigata they will consist of two champions, one guy who works hard and also Shunma Katsumata who will likely be back from injury by that point. He also said backstage he is feeling a little lonely without having Chris Brookes to wrestle with. Meanwhile MAO talked about not getting to see Matt Cardona until November. All he can do at the moment is troll him on Twitter.

In the birthplace of Giant Baba the All Asia Tag Team Titles were defended in a DDT Vs All Japan match. Jun Akiyama & Kotaro Suzuki successfully defended the titles against Takao Omori & Yoshitatsu thanks to Akiyama pinning Omori. Afterwards Yukio Sakaguchi & Hideki Okatani from Eruption entered the ring and challenged the champions. Sakaguchi pointed out that his father Seiji Sakaguchi once held those belts so the story of his son fighting for them is enough drama to make the match happen. Akiyama accepted the challenge for that reason, telling Okatani the story has nothing to do with him. The PWF committee later granted their approval for the title shot to take place on 3rd November.

DDT advertised that something was being planned for the show by Kazuki Hirata, Super Sadadango Machine and Danshoku Dieno. It turned out to be a 3 Way Match but it began with Dieno feeling depressed over Pheromones disbanded. Hirata also admitted to being in a bad mood because he thinks he isn’t getting a good enough salary for the amount of work he’s been doing lately. Sasadango wanted the match to be good because it is in his home region so he came up with suggestions to motivate his opponents. Soon other wrestlers entered the ring having their own reasons for wanting to take part in the match. Rukiya, Makoto Oishi, DJ Nira, Yoshihiko and Sanshiro Takagi all interfered. Sasadango was targeted for his mask but just when he was about to have it pulled off his face, the mayor of Sanjo City Ryo Takizawa walked out demanding everyone to stop! He told everyone that Sanjo’s reputation is now at stake and it could cost him his job! Sasadango and Takizawa then teamed up an cleared house, leading Sasadango to pin Dieno after a Double Russian Leg Sweep. Afterwards Sasadango shook the mayor’s hand until all of a sudden he gave him a Headbutt! Sasadango then challenged the mayor to a wrestling match, declaring that as of today the friendship between Niigata and Sanjo City is over!
